Be Unique!

For my mid-week inspiration for Little Miss Muffet Stamps, I colored up another jr. Hatter called Jr. Hatter Charlotte (I know…I can’t seem to help myself. They are so darned cute!!) Today’s card was inspired by a sentiment I found in my printed images file. It is from Tiddly Inks and it is PERFECT for these Hatters!!
I embossed some fun paper for texture and let it speak for itself.This card is also for the Hope You Can Cling To Challenge HYCCT1519. The challenge was to use the word PINKOLICIOUS and unscramble 3-4 words from those letters that apply to our card – My three words are PINK, INK, and OINK

LMMS Challenge #123 – Tags

 

It’s time for a new challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps! This week’s Challenge #123 is themed TAGS!

For today’s card, I CASED one of my old cards that I loved for its simple tag. I used a new embossing folder and rounded corners for a more “tag” feel. I chose LMMS image – Jr. Hatter Vironda for my card (I know that is a zebra hat, but I decided that it is of a mystical zebra in cotton candy colors haha…hey you sometimes got to color it to match the background right?). I combined this challenge with another Hope You Can Cling To Challenge. HYCCT1510 Tag Your it! With some fun foam(for dimension), ribbon, and buttons, a homemade tag is pretty simple and a fun touch to any card!

Recipe:

• Image: Jr. Hatter Vironda digi stamps from LMMS
• Sentiment: Sending Smiles Technique Tuesday
• Paper: White card stock (PTI), Hot Pink Cardstock (Recollections), Hawaiian Shores Cardstock (PTI)
• Ink: Image – Copics – W1, W3, W5,(shoes) E42, E43, E44, E47 (jeans), B95, B97, B99 (hat/shoes) RV21, RV23, RV25, RV29, BG11, BG13, BG15, (hair) E30, E33, E35, E37, (skin) E00, E02, E11, E21 (sentiment) Versafine Onyx black

Some Birdie Told Me…

This week’s challenge tWist at From the Heart Stamps is to use the STITCHING. I love to see cards with this technique, but it is harder to sew a straight line than it should be (maybe it’s just me)… BUT I tried it and here it is!

My card uses a birthday image called Five Party Birds. They are sooo cute!

This card is also for the Hope You Can Cling To Challenge HYCCT1507 – Trash Cancer. We were to use the word T-R-A-S-H to include elements in your card that begin with each letter. So here we go:

• T – Tape (Washi that is)
• R – Red Enamel dot
• A – Alcohol Ink R20, R21, R22, R24, Y04, Y06, Y08, Y26, YR23, YR24, YR15, BG0000, BG10, BG11. BG13, E40, E42, E43
• S – Stitching
• H – HAPPY Birthday

Challenges:

• Digi Choosday Challenge – Birthday Celebrations
• Crafting When We Can – 105 Whimsical with Wings
• CAS on Sunday – Challenge #69 Washi tape

Have a great day and join the challenge – there is still time!

Polka Dot Hug!

How about a quick bit of mid-week inspirations in the form of a Little Miss Muffet Stamp called Polka Dot Pals Petunia.I had a lot of trouble coming up with background paper for this one because I colored her first – I thought I had the perfect thing then it didn’t work out. That happens sometimes so I pulled it all apart and went back to the drawing board. Do you ever have to do that??

I grabbed some textured watercolor paper (Hobby Lobby brand – Love it for its white color and fun textured side) I laid out a couple sizes of stitched circle dies (Simon Says Stamps) and cut random circles. Then I cut circles from other cardstocks and fitted them into the holes – It turned out a little more simple than I planned, but I am ok with it 🙂

This cutie is also for the Hope You Can Cling To Challenge HYCCT1501B – Lend a Hand (You had to use an image with a hand in it – I thought the way she was holding her hands was sweet and sincere like she would help you with anything – did I read to much into a stamp?)

Recipe:

• Image: Polka Dot Pals Petunia digi by Little Miss Muffet Stamps
• Sentiment: Simple Sentiments – Inky Antics
• Paper: White (Papertrey Ink) Watercolor (Hobby Lobby), Scraps
• Ink: Copics Skin E50, E51, E53, E02, Hair E33, E35, E37, E39, E19, Dress RV23, RV25, RV29, Apron B00, B02, B04, B06, White Gel Pen, Shoes C5, C7, C9, Shadow W1, W3, W5, W7
• Other Basic Backdrop Dies and Polka Dot Backdrop dies (AJVD), Stitched Ciecles (Simon Says Stamps) Fun Foam

I am Awed by Your Courage!

Today’s card is for a Hope You Can Cling To challenge HYCCT1503 “I Am A Warrior”. It uses one of the Hambo Stamp’s images I have been waiting and waiting to use – For this challenge, create something that shows strength or inspiration. You could use Native American inspiration, something camo to represent our military heroes, any symbols that invoke strength and fierceness.

This challenge was a PERFECT opportunity to pull this image out and color it up (now I have to do it again soon because I adore it!) I had some Heroes in Pink digi paper that I thought would compliment this image so I printed the paper and used my Copic Hex Chart to match up the colors. I l-o-v-e it!Recipe:

• Image: Camouflage Bear digi by Hambo Stamps
• Sentiment: Hope Clear Set – Paper Smooches
• Paper: White card (PTI) Chocolate and pink (Stash), DP (Digital paper – Heroes in Pink by Happy Hearts Studio)

FTHS Sketch 122 – A Snowman is…

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Monday!! Another week has passed – time is flying isn’t is?! Today I am participating in a couple of challenges. Not only is it time for a new sketch at From the Heart Stamps, I was a top three at The Crazy Challenge and they allowed me to be a guest designer for today’s challenge. Their challenge is to use PURPLE, GREEN, and ORANGE. I combined that with the From the Heart Image Snowman Medley – I am trying to follow the sketch but it turned out to be a kind of loose take with some hand-stitched lines instead of paper…

Additionally, I am playing along with another Hope You Can Cling to Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers – the challenge is to make a card representing your LEAST favorite weather condition. AND as I am a Southern girl with Southern blood, SNOW is my least favorite weather. What is your least favorite?Recipe:

• Image: Snowman Medley by From the Heart Stamps
• Paper: White card (PTI), black card (Recollections)
• Ink: YR04, YR07, YR09, YG01, YG03, YG05, YG09, BV0000, BV01, BV02, V12, V15, V17, B0000, C0, C1, C5, C7, C9, RV25, E35, E37
